Hobnail Cruet 1887 - 1896

This clear glass cruet, known as a "Hobnail Cruet," was produced by the company Hobbs, Brockunier and Company between 1887 and 1896. The cruet's body is covered in small, evenly spaced bumps called "hobnails," which were a popular decorative technique in the late 19th century. The cruet's design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, highlighting the company's expertise in glassblowing. It currently resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
